Determination


Today i have been looking at some of the people i admire on this world wide web! and wow they make me crazy determined. Just a couple of these amazingly inspirational people are
Rosie Hardy her photos are truly beautiful
herecomesthesun blog brings a smile to my day
drifter and the gypsy blog she has sooo many followers and amazing determination yet she is younger than me truly inspiring!
so for me its plenty more sleepless nights of hard work and endless creating, to attempt to make my dreams a reality.
The image is a photo i took when me and two beautiful girls went out on a freezing photo shoot, the girl with the camera is reo, watch out for her she is amazingly talented photographer. I like capturing someone capturing there own image, there is something about it that intrigues me , but i cant put my finger on it .

so crazy busy


lately my life has been so crazy busy i almost feel like i am creating on auto pilot, which is a strange feeling. i really need to run away for a weekend to recharge my creative juices. but i cant complain the things that are keeping me so busy are so exciting, so Ive now set up my etsy store, created business cards and made my first contacts in the business. alongside this i have been getting ready for my final show at college, i finish in 4 weeks utter scarynesses. Editing my last four photo shoots. And organising a gallery for in the summer, its the buxton arts trail where creative people within buxton open up their houses for two days to display beautiful arts and crafts, I've signed up my house and the work of four artist's work as well as my own. i will blog more on this as it unfolds :).

More umbrellas







I painted these umbrellas to be used in a a fashion shoot a while back. while the models got ready i photographed them in the landscape. this is the result.

Its all about contacts


As my business is starting to get of the ground, I'm starting to realise that in the creative business even more so than any other it's all about the contacts. Its about having the ability to put yourself out there and say 'This is me, this is my business and i AM good at what i do'. But this is something i am going to have to learn , i would love to be one of those people who can walk into a room full of strangers and talk away about myself and my business. Don't get me wrong i have days where feel i am on top of the world and could do this, but the majority of the time i find this quite daunting. So today i have come up with a aim, to try to talk, email or phone someone new in the creative business each day. Be this a model id like to use in a photo shoot, another blogger who i admire, or an artist whos work i adore, it really could be anybody. I feel like a sponge wanting to soak up as much advice tips and story's as possible. I want to know and understand the opportunity's that are out there. I WANT TO GRAB THEM WITH BOTH HANDS!!!
Today i am ambitious!

Its all about contacts :)
